A look at the history of the 32nd overall pick

Drew Brees was selected 32nd overall once upon a time. The rest of the 32nd overall picks of yesteryear? Bleh.

I write this post every year, and it really doesn't mean anything, but it feels like something to do, so you'll read it and like it. Anyway, I took a look at the 32nd overall pick – the Philadelphia Eagles' pick currently in the 2018 NFL Draft – over the last 25 years, and found that it's a shockingly bad group.

Here's the list:

Year

Pick No. 32

2017

Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Saints

2016

Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Browns

2015

Malcom Brown, DT, Patriots

2014

Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Vikings

2013

Matt Elam, S, Ravens

2012

David Wilson, RB, Giants

2011

Derek Sherrod, OT, Packers

2010

Patrick Robinson, CB, Saints

2009

Ziggy Hood, DT, Steelers

2008

Phillip Merling, DE, Dolphins

2007

Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Colts

2006

Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Giants

2005

Logan Mankins, OG, Patriots

2004

Benjamin Watson, TE, Patriots

2003

Tyler Brayton, DE, Raiders

2002

Patrick Ramsey, QB, Redskins

2001

Drew Brees, QB, Chargers

2000

Dennis Northcutt, WR, Browns

1999

Kevin Johnson, WR, Browns

1998

Jerome Pathon, WR, Colts

1996

Leeland McElroy, RB, Cardinals

1995

Craig Newsome, CB, Packers

1994

Eric Mahlum, OG, Colts

1993

Ben Coleman, OG. Cardinals

Drew Brees is going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Logan Mankins was a very good guard in the NFL for a long time, Ben Watson is still in the league, and Ryan Ramczyk had a good rookie season. Other than those guys? Yikes! I mean, who in the hell is Eric Mahlum?

So should the Eagles trade out? Trade up? Forfeit the pick? Run naked through the streets? I say yes.

Here are the players drafted at each of their other draft slots since 2010. They are also not very pretty.

I don't know which of the Seahawks' three seventh-round draft picks the Eagles received back in the Michael Bennett trade, so we'll skip that one for now. Less work for me!
